Application December 3, 1945, Serial No. 632,321

1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to articles of women's apparel, and more specifically to a combination separable slip, the elements of which can be used separably as a brassire and a half-slip or in combination as a slip,

An object of this invention is to form a separable slip whose overall length can be adjusted to be used with dresses or skirts of different lengths.

Another object is to form a separable slip whose elements can be worn separately as a brassire or camisole top and a half-slip or petticoat or interchangeably with the opposite part of a similar combination.

Still another object is to form a simple, trim, inexpensive and combination separable slip adjustable in length.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a combination separable slip showing the invention.

Fig. 2 is a section along the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Fig. 3 is a rear view of the brassire portion of the slip and partly cut away to show the back part of a flap.

The adjustable separable combination slip, according to the present invention includes a twopiece garment 24 having a half-slip 25 and a brassire 26. The brassiere 26 is provided on its outside surface 26 with a downward extending welt or flap 21. This flap extends completely about the brassire and its ends 28 of its back portion 29 are provided with hooks 30 or other suitable fasteners so that the two halves of the back can be secured together. The flap is provided on its inside face with several horizontal rows of fasteners 33 selectively engageable with a complementary row of fasteners 34 mounted on the top outside face of the half-slip 25 so that the half-slip 25 can be secured at various elevations to the brassiere flap. The flap 21 rests about the outside of the upper part of the halfslip.

In order to provide a slightly neat appearing garment, the flap may be formed at its upper end 3| with a V shape or any other pleasing design and can be secured to the brassiere by stitches 32 which aid in forming the design.

The combination garment can be worn as separate garments by putting on the brassiere, hooking the back halves of the flap together, securing the half-slip fasteners 34 to one of the rows of fasteners 33 on the flap 21.

The combination garment can be worn as a single garment after the two parts are joined together by stepping into the combination garment and then securing the flap parts, the halfslip back parts, and the brassire back parts.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

A combination garment comprising, a petticoat formed with a row of fastening elements secured in spaced relationship about the upper outer edge thereof a brassire having its bottom edge underlying the top edge of said netticoat, a flap secured around the outside of said brassiere at a spaced distance above the bottom edge thereof, the bottom edges of the brassiere and the fiap coinciding, and a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal rows of fastening elements on the under fac of said fiap selectively engageable in the row of fastening elements on said petticoat to suspend the petticoat from the brassire at a selected elevated position.
